About this deal
All wheeled bins are emptied mechanically into the waste collection vehicle. It is the householder's responsibility to ensure that waste is not overly compacted or frozen in the wheeled bin to ensure that the waste falls out into the vehicle. A typical coachbuilt motorhome and larger campervan will have a fresh water tank inside the habitation area – often under the rear travel seats – where it can be centrally located for weight distribution and proximity to all the taps. The closer the water tank is to the taps, the less plumbing and connection points are needed.

Even if the tank drain valve has emptied the water tanks that doesn’t mean the motorhome is fully frost protected – any part of the system where water can be trapped (between the water pump and kitchen tap) can cause an issue. As water freezes it expands and can split the housing it is contained in. All the pipes will be food-grade plastic and are blue or red tubing, denoting cold and hot respectively, or clear piping striped with red or blue flashes.

They’re generally reliable but be aware that, if you have a water leak, they can activate automatically and pump water out of any hole or detached hose connector. Draining down over winter, and switching the water pump off when it’s not in use can prevent this. Read the owner’s manual for the correct winter drain-down procedure. Most involve opening the drain valve in the fresh water tank and the waste water tank, as well as opening up all the sink taps and shower taps. Then run the water pump until your hear it running dry (then switch it off immediately).To sterilise your water system, you can add a cleaning agent to your water tank – such as Puriclean – and then open up each water tap or shower head in turn to flush it through. Start with the tap furthest away from the tank and leave the fluid in the system overnight before flushing it out with fresh water. It’s a good idea to take the vehicle for a drive so that the sterilising fluid can slosh into every corner of the water system.
